A crying shame and one not all to surprising. On his day he’s one of the best left backs. But it’s been clear for sometime we need to find the next Luke shaw.
No, but it presents an opportunity to replace a player that has been unfortunate with injuries and bang average 50% of the other time. So yes, replace him. Sick note and average too often.
This is a funny response and much more sensible than a previous poster’s retort to my original post. I have to clarify that I’m not fat shaming him, I’m just stating what I believe based on the evidence of what our previous managers have said about him and pictures different to yours that I’ve seen myself.And yet people still defend him.
Another season where he’s unlikely to pass Martial’s appearance record…Martial joined a season later
Alright. Enjoy the rest of your evening pal
Yes he's had his injuries, he's also rubbish half the other time when fit. We sign Telles, he steps up. We sign Malacia, he steps up for a bit. Overall, very upgradeable.
The sad truth unfortunately.
Great player but time to get rid, can't rely on him.
Poor Shaw. He might miss the England's game against Ireland
A friend of mine saw him behind a Nando's rubbing his nipples with cheeseburgers.
While I understand no player wants to be injured I do think being out for a good amount of last season and then going to the Euros only to get injured again missing the start of the season doesn’t look good for anyone involved.
I hope he gets fit because we really do need him.

At some point we need to cut our losses with Shaw, can't rely on a player who is only available half a season most of the time.

Indeed. It’s far from my intention to dig you out, but I don’t think your original comments were ‘impersonal’ at all. It just seemed like you were have a bit of a paddy. ‘Deserving of criticism’, weight jibes, unprofessional etc.
I’m just as frustrated at not having a left back as you are.
He is finished. And Malacia. Basically, there are two fit fullbacks and one of them is also a crock.
Both Dalot and Mazraoui (supposedly) can play both sides to a passable standard. I think it’s okay for the interim, like a period of matches like this, but can we really trust Shaw to stay fit for long enough in the season?
Also, Mazraoui is awfully injury prone himself…
I'll expect to see him around December for a couple of game. Mazraoui will probably be unavailable for most of that spell too.
Luke Shaw is a joke. Has been injured well before the end of last season. Decided to choose rushing back with England than to stay in Manchester to continue his rehabilitation. Instead chose to go, rushed fitness to be in the final and comes back unfit again. Back in the day it was United first, country second.
Maybe the best way forward is just not to play with a left back this season. Put some traffic cones down on the pitch, stick a few signs up, pay a couple of interns and force everyone to the other side of the pitch.
That'll do us until next summer.

This is Luke from last week. Regardless of what people have, or do say about him, it is undeniable that Luke is carrying subcutaneous fat in his waist/handles.
He's not fat by average standards, but you are straight up lying to yourself that the below photo is just Luke Shaw's "build". Extra fat around the handles is not a "build". It's fat, plain and simple. His exosketal build has zero influence on him walking into late preseason with handles.

Bin him please, get Hermoso on a free and hope that another club takes this lad. Else let him stay in the reserves if he likes. Absolute pointless player and a huge liability to this club, we've kept trusting him for years.
Some posts aged really well, and it's been just few days. I really don't want to be this kind of guy, but all these are recent posts just continuing the same discussion, so it's more than fair to quote some folks.
How on earth is anyone still on his side, or thinking he is good/reliable enough to play for us?

You can't make this shit up.
Injured most of last season.
Plays Euro's final
Injured in new season.
Medics already have a fantastic start to their campaign with Holjund, Shaw, Yoro to handle.

To be fair he barely featured for England. Great player but too injury prone. We need to replace him unfortunately.
Looking like his career at the top level is nearing its end - his body just isn't up to it. Sad for him and us, but it is time to start looking for a long term replacement.
Trust one can't. Touch wood Shaw doesn't miss as much of action this season as he did last season.
No way anyone saw that coming. Right guys
Renewing his contract was a stupid decision, not just in hindsight.
Our two left backs are basically cripples incapable of playing regular football(Shaw and Malacia) and we haven't really addressed the position in the transfer window. We are stuck with Shaw for 3 more years, our next Martial...

This. We need a starting quality leftback.
He needs to be sold now, actually he needed to be sold and replaced two years ago. Enough is enough.
No one is buying a player who has spent majority of his career injured, who is on a 150k pw contract till 2027.
Burger type of annoucement.
Shaw injury before and 2 signings afterwards.

At this point this guy is taking the piss. He gets himself ready to play for England but is injured before a ball is kicked this season.
How long has he got on his contract?

Bravo Sir, can’t stop laughing at this.
In the era of PSR and financial sustainability, having players on huge wages who are always injured and have no resale value is much more destabilising than it was twenty years ago. There's nothing to be done but he's turning into a real problem.
He'll probably stay here till 2027 unfortunately. We've got another Phil Jones in our hands.
We should probably move him to CB at this point.
It's clear as day that his body can't cope with the high intensity required for the LB position.

The Most overrated player of the last 10 years for us. I don’t care how high his level is when he’s on the pitch, when he spends most of the time off of it.
